The following databases contain materials that are helpful in understanding and keeping up-to-date on business issues: news articles, market info, company info, etc.
Database searching can be refined to provide
the better results
When using search terms:
1 - Try placing phrases in quotation marks (").
ex. search "gantt charts" instead of just typing in gantt chart.
2 - Search similar or related words.
ex. "Data Flow Diagrams"
"Data Modeling"
ex. "Effective Business Proposals"
"Writing Business Proposals"
3 - Combine searches
ex. "Project Management" AND "Systems Analysis". This narrows the scope and produces more relevant resources.
4 - Search for alternative word endings using an asterisk (*) at the end of
the word root. ex. gantt chart* will retrieve gantt chart,
gantt charts, gantt charting, etc.
5 - Always check your spelling. Some databases do this
automatically. Others do not. If your search words
result in zero hits, incorrect spelling may be the cause.
